I've been dealing with a wound on my hip for the last 8 years. It's very small on the outside and there is a very small hole in my bone with a dormant infection. My doctor wants me to have surgery, but I'm dreading laying in the bed for most of a year afterwards. Could I wait to have the surgery, until after I get treated with stem cells. It seems like I would be able to deal with it better if I had more ability than I do now. Or would having the wound make me ineligible from receiving treatment?

I was injured 2 weeks after my 16th birthday on June 14th, 2004. My level of injury is C5 complete, but I can move my wrist.

Check into this magnetic pulser to help with wound healing. http://www.sota.com/magnetic-pulser.html Son used one of these on a pressure sore on his ankle which helped clear it up in several weeks. We did two sessions in a row, then let the unit cool down for awhile, then repeated 3-4 times per day. The head unit builds up a charge, then sends out an intense microburst of a magnetic field at the area of need, then recharges itself over 5 seconds then repeats.

It really worked for you? It kinda seems like a scam to me. How bad was the wound? Did you do anything else to treat it? I've had small wounds on my ankle several times, but they healed naturally with pressure relief and skin cream. I'd be willing to try it, but I don't have $350 just to throw away.

You're getting treated with stem cells? Where? I'm interested in that to see if it would help me.

My hopes in these trials are pretty much faded out by now. All predicted dates seem to never work out for years and the so-called 'significant recovery' in participant from passed phase II in China are not even followed-up with a reason that the participated live "too far" (within China btw) to collect data, but yet think to be able to manage further countries like US, India, Norway... Really I don't get it.

Now seems nothing predicted is not going to happen again this year except maybe in the US when the FDA application goes through which I can't understand again how can trail dates be predicted in the US if the application hasn't even been submitted yet.

Happy 7th anniversary ChinaSCINet Update thread.

I'm pretty much done here - Thanks for all the hard work and effort the same.
